How was stats paper today?

 

[Cloudi]

How to press a power of (-1/0.41) from calculator?

 

[supersunshine]

seems like this year paper quite manageable ah? hopefully it's the same for everything else!!!

 

[funkedup]

Stats is manageable but think I made careless mistakes...like Jackie chan in rush hour 3
Able to make it but cannot pass well sian

 

[funkedup]

Assuming (G-T) remains constant
I = S(Y0)+ (G-T) - NX (point a, so NX =0, therefore I = S(Y0)
I = S(Y1)+ (G-T) - NX

Since y1 is higher, S(Y0) <S(Y1), hence NX>0 there will be CA surplus. So NX shift more to right.

This should be the right way to ans 8a. OMG! 6-7 marks gone bcos I changed my answer! Hate myself.

Is it at the same level of interest rate r0? But on the right of a but left of nx?
Denote that point but no time to write the equations down to justify why my nx shift more right

I have to prepare for the worst.

What happen if I 'retain' Year 1 as in retaking those units? Pay just for the exam fees or the usual fees for registration, admin and exams aka S$8000? If really need to pay that kind of sum again, might as well quit UOL and start working.

 

[josdas90]

I felt i have written rubbish for today stat1 theory part.

 

[Bishio]

Every year got people wrote name on exam script when not suppose to. Never even ask u write ur name. Lol
Waste time nia.

 

[xxlxxlxxl]

Those who did PC for econs, is there price elasticity for demans for the different grps? Qns 3...
I think the qns for stats are repeated and bcos of this, the calculations are quite tedious and not enough time to finish... There goes my A

 

[veefounder]

Seniors, uol got use bell curve ??

 

[Val_Venis]

Seniors, uol got use bell curve ??

nope.
some module only 35% pass only..whereas some is 99.9

pay everything. but think sch fees got half price.

No there's no price elasticity. The qn initially only said there's two consumers (locals and insurers), and insurers are required to pay the transportation cost. Only when it comes to part b when you are required to talk about consumer spending that's when you can use the price elasticity to talk about the insurers (ie when price drop, what happens when elasticity less/more than unity).
Your diagrams should be the same for elasticity wise, no distinctive differences cause the qn never specify elasticity initially, to sum up.

Yay! same ans as u!

LOL!!! I think u got to assume though they never state in the qns. U go and see Amos study guide behind. He won't give u 2 groups of consumers with same demand de. For me, I assume locals demand to be elastic and UK insurers demand to be inelastic.

LOL!!! Qns got state UK insurers use the toy for advertising purposes, that's a hint that demand is inelastic while locals use the toy for some repel thing and that's elastic.

 

[Number_Theory123]

why would using the toy for advertising purposes and using the toy for repellant
purposes lead to inelastic and elastic?

I don't see a link to it

any CF pros here can help me out with this?

Regarding agency costs and dividends pg 133 of study guide. The concept is supposed to be similar with reference to Jensen Meckling asset substituion and Myers debt overhang right.

For asset subsitution basically managers will choose higher risk projects/higher equity payout projects when there is more debt obligations. Debt holders worse off and firm value falls.

Debt overhang regarding management with large levels of debt will choose to reject positive NPV projects, reducing value of firm as well.

So with regards to dividends, in pg 133 it says managers pay out large lvl of dividends, financing these payouts by 1) rejecting positive NPV projects or 2) increasing debt lvls

Confused abt 2) increasing debt lvls. Where does this come into play? Isnt asset substitution and debt overhang abt managers acting in the interest of shareholders thus their goal is to reduce the debt?


pls pm me if u know thanks

The UK insurers only use it for advertising purposes which mean that they wouldn't use much of it except for that purpose, but for locals they will always use it and such that they will demand it more so thus lead to elastic. Also, the qns got state that its copyright which means that it's in Australia and that only the locals will demand more for it rather than the UK insurers. U got to make assumptions. Should go and read Amos study guide on the heavy and light smokers and 1st-time and 2nd-time buyers of the homes.
